Amberjack by Amberjack Sportfishing
Costa Rica has a fish with your name on it, so let Amberjack Tours help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, our respected captain is prepared to put you on fish.
Top targets for offshore and inshore trips include Sailfish, Marlin, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Amberjack, Red Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Geouper,, and more, depending on the time of year and whether you book an inshore or offshore trip.
Trolling can be used for both offshore and inshore charters. Inshore fishing trips can be reef fishing, bottom fishing, jigging, popping, and more.
Amberjack operates a 28' Sportfishing Yacht that will accommodate up to 6 fishermen. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There's a bathroom on board for your convenience.
We carry only high-end tournament-grade equipment and tackle including PENN International Rods, Reels, teasers, dredge bars, and live bait are all used and included in the price.
There will be a First Mate as well as an additional fisherman/service mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates and captains work hard to make your trip count, so a 15-25% tip is customary.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information will be provided to you before your charter and the licenses are purchased online. Some species (billfish) are protected and are catch & release only.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Liquor is allowed (beer is provided) but please deink in moderation for your own safety. (Please do not bring aboard glass bottles.)
Beer, wine, Coke-branded sodas, flavored teas, and bottled water are included on all of our private charters. Hummus & vegetables, fruit platter, and snacks are provided on all trips. 6 and 8-hour charters on the Amberjack boat include fresh sandwiches. Chef lunch is available for only $10 per person

Had a great full day off shore trip. Caught Sailfish, Mahi, Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, and several others. Captain and crew were very friendly, helpful, and flexible with what we were hoping to do. Boat was very nice with good shade, good indoor cover if rain, good toilet,…. Lunch, snacks, and drinks way better than you would ever expect on a fishing charter (very nice). All spoke english and easy to communicate with. Amber is great to deal with when booking. Repeat customers with this boat, and will repeat again.
Michael, It was a pleasure to welcome you back aboard for the THIRD TIME at Amberjack Sportfishing! So thrilled to hear that we delivered another 5 Stars experience for you and your family. We can't wait to see you again on your next trip ro Playa Flamingo. Tight Lines!
Captain and Crew are the best I have ever seen. We were asked what fish we wanted to target and for two days that's exactly what we caught. The mates work exceptionally hard! For two days I never seen a bait trolled imperfect for more than 10 seconds before it was changed.Besides fishing their hospitality was second to none, always making snacks are grabbing drinks for us. They really really go above and beyond. If you're looking to catch fish and be in company of the friendliest group of guys there are this is the charter for you.
Kyle, thank you for the amazing review! Our cruise works so hard to give clients like you amazing experiences on the ocean. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you. Back on the boat again one day For Another. Epic fishing experience..
Had a great time. We absolutely slayed them. That being said, all of the captains keep in touch on the radio, and literally none of the other boats on the water caught a thing. I took my son and my son-in-law. By the end of the trip we were arguing about who had to reel in the next fish because we had caught so many and were drained ! Fishing was amazing, the crew are extremely knowledgeable and will put you on the fish. Can't recommend them enough, great group of guys.
Brad, We are stoked that we were able to create such a great day at sea on board the Amberjack boat. Thanks for the great review and we will pass on your feedback to our amazing crew who works hard to put clients on the fish every day!
My family of 6 decided to fish with the Amberjack for our trip to Costa Rica based on all of the solid reviews. Capt Carlos and First Mate Dennis were amazing! the boat was extremely comfortable and the gear was top of the line Penn and Shimanos! Capt Carlos and First Mate Dennis worked hard for us all day and ran far to get us to the fish! We landed 3 beautiful sailfish, had several more bites and finished the day catching groupers and tile fish to eat. 3 drops and we had all the fish we wanted to eat! First mate Dennis made us lunch on the boat as well as fresh fruit, chips and salsa for snacks! they had plenty of cold drinks for us including water, a variety of fruit juices, a variety of soft drinks, and of course cold beer! Wonderful fishing with theses guys! will definitely fish with them again next time we come down here! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Here's a concise, professional reply: Thank you, Jake! It was a pleasure having you and your family aboard. We're thrilled that Captain Carlos and Dennis were able to put you on multiple sailfish and finish the day with some delicious grouper and tilefish for dinner. We truly appreciate your kind words about the crew, boat, gear, and onboard hospitality. Thank you for choosing Amberjack, and we look forward to fishing with you again on your next trip to Costa Rica!
Hi, I highly recommend this Crew and boat. Everything was amazing from the start. The crew communicated and answered all my questions up until the day of the trip. Crew, Carlos, Dennis and Brandon were so accommodating and genuine, always putting us first and their top priority. The day started as planned Sun was bright and expectations were high as we left the harbor I knew the wind would play a big part of the day and it did, as later morning came the wind and swell intensified and crew made sure we were ok and kept us top priority. My better half started to get sea sick and once again the crew Dennis and Brandon were attentive to the situation and making every effort to make the experience enjoyable for her and me…..At about 11am the captain yells out 'Pez Bella' 'Pez Bella' and it was on!!!!! my sweatheart snaps out of the sea sick and becomes the videographer and once again the crew went into topnotch outfit and met all of our expectations and handled every set of having a fish of a lifetime or trophy bost side, putting my hands on such a beautiful fish while photos and video was happening I cant describe the emotions i had for life at the momment!!!! I had just lost my father 30 days earlier and this was a moment as to something blessing me from a higher place, the Sailfish was beautiful and a reminder that life is short and beautiful so enjoy it and fish it well. I am still on cloud nine and planning the next trip and yes!!!! will be with this Amazing crew Carlos, Dennis and Brandon onboard the Amberjack!!!!! Thank you all for now till we do it again!!!
Thank you so much for the incredible review, Victor. We're truly honored that you chose to spend your day on the water with us, and it means a lot to hear how much the experience meant to you. Captain Carlos, Dennis, and Brandon take great pride in looking after our guests—especially when the ocean throws a little extra wind and swell our way. Making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and taken care of is always their top priority. We're especially glad they were able to help your sweetheart through the seasickness and keep the day positive. And what an unforgettable moment when the sailfish showed up! Hearing '¡Pez vela!' and watching everything come together for a fish like that is what sportfishing dreams are made of. Your story about that moment and the memory of your father is incredibly touching. Fishing has a way of creating those powerful, meaningful experiences, and we're grateful that the Amberjack crew could be part of a day that meant so much to you. Congratulations again on a beautiful sailfish, and thank you for trusting our crew with your trip. We can't wait to welcome you back aboard for the next adventure. Until then—tight lines and pura vida! 🎣
